Explores the representational history of Shakespeare's "Ophelia" during the Victorian period. This book examines the disseminated representations of Ophelia, from works by artists and writers, to interpretations of her character in contemporary productions of "Hamlet", revealing her as a nexus of the struggle for the female body's subjugation.
